Answer to Question #5539 in Mechanics | Relativity for Sara

Question

I need help with understanding how if two players jump for the ball with the exact same mass and body segment dimensions, taking off with the same vertical and horizontal velocity of the CoG, one can have an advantage over the other by reaching with one arm up (and the other arm by her side) while the other one reaches with both arms. I need to write 2 paragraphs on it using "knowledge of projectile motion and the factors that affect the location of the CoG" to explain why the player that has one up arm up has an advantage. Please help me?
